“General Hospital” stars Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones), Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis), and Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) were just some of the actors from the daytime drama series who took the time to answer calls from viewers all across America as part of Disney|ABC Television Group’s “Day of Giving,” which took place on Thursday, August 31, and continued well into Friday morning.

Kicking off the annual “General Hospital” Fan Club Weekend on Thursday, August 3, was an event by actors William deVry (Julian Jerome) and Robert Palmer Watkins (Dillion Quartermaine).

“General Hospital’s” Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is moments away from walking down the aisle to marry Julian (William deVry), but first she has a heart-to-heart with a surprise wedding guest: Sonny (Maurice Benard).

Can’t get enough of Sonny and Avery (twins Ava and Grace Scarola) scenes on “General Hospital?” Apparently, neither can Maurice Benard, who plays the show’s mobster super dad. So he was quick to share and adorable father-daughter moment that didn’t make into a recent episode.

As previously reported, actor Matt Cohen (“How to Get Away with Murder”) has recently joined the cast of ABC’s “General Hospital” in the role of Griffin Munro, Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) new doctor who shares a past connection with someone already in Port Charles.
